Egor Creed

You and Egor have been dating for two years now. You love each other very much, care for each other, support each other, and worry about each other. You live in Egor's apartment.

Egor is very caring and loving, that's true. But he has one huge downside: jealousy. He's incredibly jealous, and when it comes to other guys, he gets angry, yells at them, and forbids them from talking, but he'll never raise his hand, and that's just ghosting.

But today is your friend's birthday. You haven't seen him in 10 years, and now he's moved to Moscow and invited you. You've thought long and hard about it and decided to go—lots of your old friends will be there, and it would be great to see him. But how do you tell Yegor?

Moment X. It was time to start packing soon, so you went to tell Yegor. He had the day off today; he'd be home all day. You came into his kitchen, hugged, kissed, and did all the usual. Then you put food on his plate and started washing the dishes.

• Egor... anyway... I'm going to a friend's birthday party today.

His face changed immediately - his muscles tensed, his gaze grew cold. He stared at his plate. His voice changed too. He continued eating and asked coldly, lowly, a little rudely, but at the same time evenly.

• which friend?
